Ray Lewis ONLY the 4th Best ILB!?

The Sporting News' Real Scouts has rated the top players at each position, and at inside linebacker, the Baltimore Ravens' Ray Lewis gets the #4 ranking, which is probably amazing for most 34 year old linebackers, but I'm not satisfied with that "honor."
The top three above Ray are, in order, Chicago's Brian Uhrlacher, SF's Patrick Willis and Arizona's Karlos Dansby. Now I've always felt that Uhrlacher was overrated, and while Willis is going to be a great one, he doesn't have the field presence of Lewis and Dansby, while very solid, is still no Ray. To me Ray is the best ILB in all of pro football, not just currently, but of all-time. No one, repeat no one, reads the field and the offense, much less prepares like he does. Offenses gameplan around him, which is part of the reason so many other players on the Ravens have solid careers in his shadow and then go off for the big bucks and return to mediocrity. Along those lines, the New York Jets' Bart Scott came in at #212 on that list.
The Sporting News rates all positions, so here is a sampler of what the other positions look like and the Ravens on their lists:
OLB: 1. DeMarcus Ware (Cowboys), 2. James Harrison (Steelers) 3. Shawn Merriman (Chargers), 4. Terrell Suggs (Ravens)
DT: 1. Albert Haynesworth, 2. Ken Williams (Vikings), 3. Vince Wilfork (Patriots), 4. Haloti Ngata (Ravens), 6. Shaun Rogers (Browns)
OT: 1. Ryan Clady (Broncos), 14. Jared Gaither (Ravens)
G: 1. Steve Hutchinson (Vikings), NOTE: Ben Grubbs not in Top 20.
C: 1. Nick Mangold (Jets), 6. Jason Brown (Rams), NOTE: Matt Birk not in Top 10.
TE: 1. Jason Witten (Cowboys), 9. Todd Heap (Ravens)
WR: 1. Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona), 4. Anquan Boldin (Arizona), NOTE: No Ravens in Top 20.
FB: 1. Greg Jones (Jaguars), 2. Le'Ron McClain (Ravens)
RB: 1. Adrian Peterson (Vikings), NOTE: No Ravens in Top 20
QB: 1. Peyton Manning (Colts), 13. Matt Ryan (Falcons), 16. Joe Flacco (Ravens)

At his age I can see Ray being under some of the younger people. Uhrlacher has always been overrated. People love him despite the fact that he has gotten worse and isn’t even the best LB on his team at this point. The bigger Ravens slight to me would be Ngata under both Williams and Wilfork. Williams is good but i don’t see him better at this point then Ngata. Wilfork is another one of those overrated people because their old and have a big name.

The list is a joke
They have Urlacher as the #1 MLB. That is preposterous, dude has been a shell of himself for years. I would not put him in the top ten.
I’d have Willis at #1, followed by Ray at #2, solely because Willis has more upside to have a monster season at this point in their careers.
Other retardedness….Grubbs not being in top 20 Guards? Birk not in top ten Centers? Ngata number 4? He should be 2 at worst.

They got the whole list wrong
Shawn Rogers is supposed to be the best at every position.
The list is terrible. Its like they made all the #1 guys 2-3 year players. Clady at #1 OT? Hell no. The man has been in the league for 2 years and is already the best Tackle in the game. Shit, I would even rate the great Joe Thomas above him. Walter Jones is the best OT in the game. If Gaither wouldn’t have failed out of UMD, he would have been a first round pick and would be top 10 on this list no doubt.
Urlacher is the worst pick I have ever seen. I agree with archon that he is not even the best LB on his team anymore. Briggs does way more than Urlacher does. Karlos Dansby? For real? So he is the 3rd best because there was a bunch of talk about his contract bullshit? Come on. It needs to go Willis #1, Ray #2. This is because physically, Willis is just a freak. 315 tackles in his first 2 seasons is remarkable. He has the chance to become the best all around LB in the game, but I will still take Ray over Willis until Ray retires.
Grubbs and Birk is ridiculous. I bet Birk is top 10 if still on the Vikings. A 6 time pro bowler does not get top 10, but Jason Brown who JUST became a name that is known by others outside of Baltimore is terrible. Grubbs is better then half the guys on the list as well. He is on the Patriots, he gets top 15. It is the Raven name that kills it.
Until Wilfork and Williams drop back in coverage to grab interceptions and line up on offense as a tight end, I will never think they are better all around then Ngata. Each one of those DT ranked above Ngata have on purpose on their teams, and that is to just get to the QB, get to the QB and get to the QB. Maybe it is because they are all obese and couldn’t come close to running the 4.79 40 yard dash that Ngata once ran. All about stats, stats, stats in this league. Well Ngata does more for our team then those guys do. How far did the top 3 get in the playoffs last year?
Still Shawn Rogers needs to be #1 everywhere.

I don’t really want to get into this too much. It will only draw unwanted attention to the Beatdown.
I will say that there is more pretense at DBN than at any other blog that I’ve seen. They will flame people for posting or commenting incorrectly. I’ve even seen them attacking and criticizing new people for not knowing the unspoken “rules” that they have. That doesn’t bother me too much… I can understand why they want to regulate the site, but I think that they’ve gone too far.
The thing that bothers me the most is the obsessive censoring by ChrisPokorny. He will delete posts, close comments and ban users for anything that isn’t Brown-loving. I was literally banned for commenting “Bam” after the Ravens beat the Browns last season. I was unbanned shorty after. You definitely need to be drinking the kool-aid in order to post or comment over there. The pretense and haughtiness with which they do everything over at DBN is by very definition ostentatious. I hope that I answered your question.

Only seeing this now, but come on, give me a break. I’ve refuted all of your points with evidence in the past, yet you persist on bringing them up.
I was literally banned for commenting "Bam" after the Ravens beat the Browns last season. I was unbanned shorty after.
For the millionth time — the week preceding that game thread, most of my users were pissed off and annoyed by the Ravens fans. What should have been a fun discussion turned sour, and that’s the only fanbase that has happened with. So, for the gamethread, I asked Ravens fans to please refrain from comments that would incite Browns fans; any inciteful comments would lead to a ban to prevent you from persisting. It’s true that all you said was “Bam”, but it’s funny how you neglect to mention the context of the situation.
And, you were unbanned shortly after, no harm done. To say that I’m obsessive in censoring is just…laughable. If you make a valid argument, maybe I’ll buy into it, but I seriously doubt you’d be able to make a legitimate case.
Nonetheless, I am very pleased to see some nice football discussion from you guys this season so far. With a larger following at BB now too, hopefully we can get a wider range of Ravens fans’ opinions (all the same; Browns suck! ;))

I don’t really remember ever talking with you about this… After you unbanned me, I apologized for being “arrogant” via email. You never responded. I could continue addressing your “points” in the above comment, but it would only lead to more animosity.
Look, I don’t want to fight about the past. My comment above was made several weeks ago. Since then, I feel like things have been smoothed over between myself and DBN. I know what to expect over there and what not to say. I still have my opinions about DBN, and I’m sure that you have your opinions about BB. Let’s just leave it at that. We’re both grown men, and I’m sure we can accept that and get along.

You have to take everyhting with a grain of salt that these so called “experts” put out there! Geesh, to think that Len Pasquarelli (D-bag) has the Steelers at #9 in the power rankings is semi-retarded. I mean, they may not be #1, but they sure as shit aren’t #9.

Tough list.
I would have Willis #1, followed by Ray Lewis. I just think Urlacher doesn’t exhibit the same versatility as Ray Lewis who can play in the 3-4 or 4-3. He is somewhat overrated too. Mario Williams should be number 2. Freeney has fallen off and Julius Peppers seems like a one year wonder. Ngata should be number three behind Shaun Rogers and Haynesworth, respectively.
I don’t mind Ryan Clady at number one. He is a pretty darn good tackle. Gaither should be ranked 9th. Grubbs should be ranked at least 11th or at worst behind Gallery.

Both Rogers and Haynesworth will drop this year
Rogers because he is getting older and will continue to be frustrated by the Browns lack of success after also being in Detroit. Haynesworth’s stats will drop significantly playing in god-awful DC. Ngata will rise, as the cream always does, to the top!

Each player plays in a different system.
Personally, I feel that Shaun Rogers and Albert Haynesworth have a bit more versatility than Ngata and rush the passer better than Ngata. The only advantage I see Ngata is his ability to drop back into a zone and catch interceptions. I don’t think he has an advantage over either. Haynesworth will probably come back to Earth. Rogers has been a really DT for a long time with some lazy years in-between. I’m sure Ngata will surpass them both either this year or next.

Can Rogers or Al drop back as a LB into coverage? Play on the end or in the middle? Stop the run or rush the passer? Stay on the field for every down?
Ngata is not asked to rush the QB in our system, if he was, he would get sacks. He is the most versatile DT in the game, and possibly the most versatile D Lineman.
by DT711 on May 28, 2009 11:11 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed.
Ngata may not have been as dominate as Haynesworth last season, but he was definitely more versatile. He will definately be better next season, and he has always been better than Rogers. He was probably better than Rogers in high school.
It’s funny how we all have players that we defend. Mine is clearly McGahee. Rexx has Ray, Malor has Troy and DT711 has Ngata. I wonder who raven has… Dan Cody?
by BAL_Hawk on May 28, 2009 11:32 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

It’s all about what they’re asked to do. DT was right in that in our system Ngata is asked to do different things than perhaps Rogers is in whatever the hell the Browns system might be.

Everyone here will tell you that I’m not a huge McGahee fan, but even I can’t really agree with you. He isn’t past his prime; he’s just very inconsistent. From year to year, you really don’t know what to expect from him. He could play like a Pro Bowler, or have another year like last year. Historically, he tends to perform most poorly when he skips voluntary workouts while learning a new offensive system. Given that he has a year of experience with Cam already and has also attended some of the voluntary workouts, he’ll likely be working hard to increase his trade value.

I may have to recant my McGahee optimism. While he did make an appearance at a couple of early voluntary practices, he’s apparently been absent for over a week.
http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/football/bal-mcgahee602,0,678412.story
“I don’t know,” Harbaugh said. “I have no idea where he’s at. It’s the first day he’s been here in a week and a half. I can’t gauge it.”
I might be reading too much into this, but it seems like McGahee might not be in Harbaugh’s best graces. Typically, Harbaugh is very gung-ho about any given player’s potential; here, he seems frustrated. Also, he has McGahee mostly running with the second stringers.
According to some of my past work on the subject, McGahee tends to have terrible years when he slacks in the off-season. Here’s hoping he’s due to break from tradition and help us get to the Super Bowl.
